Hello Goddesses! Let’s Talk...Let’s take this moment together to discuss your garden enhancement for fashionable entertainment. The High Priestess Lifestyle approach will combine the enriched teachings of my Master Leung, the centuries old art of Feng Shui. Carefully, I have uniquely combined my Sensory designs to honor my Masters’ Feng Shui Teachings. Each Goddess program is designed to enhance your Wellbeing, Emotions, Health and Relationships. All of these are beneficial to help you receive Prosperity, Happiness and Success. It’s all about your intentions, to live Purposely, Mindfully and Richly! I have created a new partnership, the bridge to fuse Home with Fashion Decoration. My love for Fashion and Art has led me on the intriguing path to design jewelry ornamentations for glamorous women. Interestingly, the High Priestess Lifestyle will embrace your inner Goddess, inspiring you with color, fabric and texture choices to enhance both Home (inside) and Fashion (outside). Both your home and fashion share the same “Spirit,” You! Your unique style choices are one of a kind. Let's get this show on the road-- from Fashion Runway to Room Decor.

If I opened the door of your closet for your unadorned “little black dress,” I could heighten your style to chic couture in a New York minute! How? Visualize Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O with pearls of course, from sweaters to sheaths, add pearls and more pearls. Now, I'm not saying purchase pearlized sheets for your bedroom. Certainly, you will capture the same Spirit look for your Goddess style for your bedroom with pearlized accessories-- picture frames, or replace the boring wooden handles on your side tables to pearlized knobs, or add a splash of pearlized paint! Your comforter will reflect the Nomadic Spirit, with this bit of sparkle!

High Priestess- Lifestyle Guidance

I welcome you to the possibility for transformation to Enlighten and Enhance the world around “You” in a subtly different and interrelated way. First things first, have you always wanted a rose garden for your backyard? Or perhaps a new outdoor table, new cushions? I hear you saying “where do I begin?” This question is often asked in a soft voice, resonating fear. Yes, home decoration is a tad overwhelming and confusing. There are so many choices of colors, fabrics and even paint. I believe Function comes first! Is your terrace, patio or garden serving your needs? The same blueprint I call Manquet will help you to design personal outdoor spaces to serve your needs. This same “how to” choose jewelry accessories for savvy fashion applies here to design your outdoor spaces. Begin selecting the area in your garden or patio where you would like to curl up with a book, or chat with a friend on comfortable seating. Let us now, locate additional space to serve cocktails, dinners and even to create your meditation space, a quiet area just for you! Even the tiniest terrace can become as inviting as your favorite 4 star restaurant and as fun for your children at Disneyland. I believe your Gardenscape is a lovely extension of your home.

The High Priestess- Tabletop Guidance

Let’s set goals. The purpose for entertaining is for you and your guests to have a good time, escaping the “woes” of everyday life in your gardens or patios-- Stress Release! Many hostesses often find setting table themes a nightmare. I call it Therapeutic Art! Planning your tablescapes is your escape from the outer world. Entertaining style when incorporated with fantasy and fun will have your guests feel positive energy, the heightened vibe as they are welcomed into your home with good cheer. Remember, whatever you do Goddess, do it, with Glamour!

The Goddess Tablescape:

Years ago I designed many Artisan signature tabletop accessories, enjoyed and featured in the Felissimo Department stores in both New York and Japan. My square charger plates often were embellished with the vibrant modern splashes of color. black and turquoise colors imbued in glass. I intentionally styled it with a red rectangular sushi plate, to replace your traditional bread plates.

I love the ocean. The feel of the sand with the scent of the sea often captures dune grass swaying in the breeze-, all a great reminder of my Hampton years with my family. We often carried our teak table and chairs down to the ocean, to enjoy a relaxed Bobo style dinner. We often lit modern hurricane candles on the table and that cast a luminous glow when the sun went down.

The Goddess Tablescape:

The vibrant color of coral captures nature's color of the “Lobster.”   To accent each place setting, choose white China. Whimsical perhaps, but fun! Driftwood with various levels of candles set upon acrylic cubes, will shimmer the golden flatware, whispering your Edgy Bobo style. Do remember colorful pashminas in coral, pink and aqua placed in black wicker baskets to carry to the beach.
